.SH PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

.SH NAME

\(em set the effective group ID
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <unistd.h>
.P
int setegid(gid_t \fIgid\fP);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
If
.IR gid
is equal to the real group ID or the saved set-group-ID, or if the
process has appropriate privileges,
\fIsetegid\fR()
shall set the effective group ID of the calling process to
.IR gid ;
the real group ID, saved set-group-ID, and any supplementary group IDs
shall remain unchanged.
.P
The
\fIsetegid\fR()
function shall not affect the supplementary group list in any way.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
Upon successful completion, 0 shall be returned; otherwise, \-1 shall
be returned and
.IR errno
set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
The
\fIsetegid\fR()
function shall fail if:
.TP
.BR EINVAL
The value of the
.IR gid
argument is invalid and is not supported by the implementation.
.TP
.BR EPERM
The process does not have appropriate privileges and
.IR gid
does not match the real group ID or the saved set-group-ID.
.LP
